Some people are born to be great. They are endowed with mental attributes of altruism and patriotism of a high order. The number of such gifted mortals may be counted on the fingers. They illumine vast areas by virtue of their glorious and generous deeds and, when their mission on earth is duly fulfilled, they leave behind them their immortal names destined to shine like brilliant beacons for the posterity and depart this world. They devote themselves to do something great and good for the masses and the nation as well.
To this high order of human species belongs Zainul Haque Sikder, a legendary figure known for building social, political, educational and healthcare institutions in Bangladesh for which he will be ever remembered by people. Besides, he was a pioneer in promoting the country’s trade, commerce and financial institutions.
Today, the 10th February, is the second death anniversary of Zainul Haque Sikder and we pay great homage to him from deeper than the surface of our heart.
Apart from being a valiant Freedom Fighter Zainul Haque Sikder was a close confidant of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
